If you want to change the button on the top of your MS webcam from MSN to OCS client do the following:

 

Step 1. Download LiveCam 1.3+

You can down load LiveCam 1.3+ from here:

http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/digitalcommunication/downloads/default.mspx

 

64bit of Lifecam v2.04 found here

http://www.microsoft.com/windows/compatibility/Details.aspx?type=Hardware&p=Microsoft%20LifeCam%20NX-3000%20-%20web%20camera&v=Microsoft&uid=&pf=0&pi=0&c=Cameras%20%26%20Photo&sc=Webcams&os=64-bit

 

 

Step 2. GPO or Registry

You can then download the GPO or app that will change your Call Button to open w/Office communicator

If you want to set this up on windows Vista then you can’t go the ADM route (ADMX files are the new type)

You can use the ADM2ADMX converter:

Or just add the following registry key:

 

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Hardware]

"EnableMOCIntegration"=dword:00000001

 

Step 3. Run the exe

Download the zip file (Office Communicator - Call Button Integration Support Kit.Zip) file and run OCSupportKitLifeCam.exe
